Rep. Mike Honda (D-San Jose) has filed a lawsuit against his opponent, Democrat Ro Khanna, alleging that Khanna's campaign manager illegally obtained sensitive fundraising data and used it to contact Honda's supporters. Some of the donors on that list, Honda's campaign says, received unsolicited emails from Khanna asking to speak with them to discuss his campaign. Hari Sevugan, a spokesman for the Khanna campaign, says neither Khanna nor the campaign has been served with the lawsuit. "What you have here is a cyberattack," said Gautum Dutta, an attorney for Honda's campaign. The Honda campaign says it is seeking "all available compensatory and injunctive relief" and has asked Khanna's campaign to destroy or return all information it may have obtained.
